Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2452. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thex
are the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2452 to binary:
00100100 01010010
. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100010 10010001 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+2452 is a typographical representation used primarily for digital text, specifically within the Blackboard Bold range of symbols. It has a typical role in representing bold letters in typesetting when using blackboard bold fonts, which are often employed in mathematical and scientific contexts. These fonts are distinct due to their unique visual characteristics, with thick lines and a light interior that gives them a chalk-like appearance. This distinctive aesthetic lends itself well to various notational systems, making U+2452 an essential character for digital text that demands clarity and precision in its presentation. Despite being part of the Unicode standard, this character does not have any notable cultural or linguistic context, but its technical importance cannot be understated in the realm of digital typography and typesetting.
